A student prepares a model by filling a plastic bottle with water, capping it tightly, and placing it in the freezer for 24 hours. After 24 hours, there are large cracks on the bottle's sides. The student's model most likely represents which of the following types of weathering:

• Acid rain

• Oxidation

• Frost wedging

• Abrasion

Madison creates the model shown of a stream bed. She wants to demonstrate how natural processes can change the surface of Earth through deposition and erosion. She pours water on her model and makes observations. In which situation will more deposition than erosion occur in Madison's stream bed model?

• More deposition will occur if the slope of the stream increases.

• More deposition will occur if sediment in the stream decreases.

• More deposition will occur if sediment in the stream increases.

• More deposition will occur if the speed of the stream water decreases.
